Searching For A New Life

Today, we pass the mic to our colleagues at All Things Considered to share the first piece in their series on the impact of climate change, global migration and far-right politics. They begin with the story of Mamadou Thiam, a Senegalese man living in a temporary shelter created by the United Nations. He is from a family of fishermen, but floods have destroyed his home. In the past when there was flooding, people could relocate for a few months and then return. But more flooding means leaving may become permanent.

The radio version of this story was produced by Noah Caldwell and edited by Matt Ozug and Sarah Handel. Our episode was produced by Rebecca Ramirez and edited by Gisele Grayson. The audio engineers were Neil Tevault and Gilly Moon.
